Ige, D. V., Kiarie, E., Akinremi, O. O., Rossnagel, B., Flatten, D. and Nyachoti, C. M. 2010. Energy and nutrient digestibility in a hulless low-phytate phosphorus barley fed to finishing pigs. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 90: 393-399. Six-ileal cannulated finishing barrows were used to determine energy and nutrient digestibility in a sample of a hulless low-phytate (LP) barley cultivar. A sample of regular hulled (RH) barley was also included for comparison. Two diets containing 96.5% of either LP or RH barley, 2.5% trace minerals and vitamins and 1% indigestible marker (Celite) were fed in a two-period change-over design. Each experimental period lasted 9 d; a 5-d acclimatization period followed by 2 d of fecal and 2 d of ileal digesta collection. Standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA) was calculated using published values for ileal endogenous AA losses from our laboratory. Total phosphorus (as is) was similar in LP and RH; however, LP had lower phytate phosphorus (0.6 vs. 2.3, g kg(-1)) than RH. Apparent digestibility of phosphorus was higher (P <0.01) for LP barley than RH at both ilea! (45 vs. 24%) and faecal (55 vs. 32%) levels. Compared with RH, LP had higher (P <0.05) DE and SID contents of all indispensable AA except Phe. In summary, a hulless low-phytate barley sample fed to finishing pigs had higher digestible phosphorus, energy and AA contents than regular hulled barley, indicating that use of hulless low-phytate barley in swine diets may have ecological benefit.

Egg production, egg quality, organ weight, bone ash, and plasma metabolites in 30-week-old Lohmann LSL lite hens fed corn and soybean meal-based diets supplemented with enzymatically treated yeast

Colin A. De Cloet, Anderson N. Maina, Hagen Schulze, Gregoy Y. Bedecarrats, Elijah G. Kiarie

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of enzymatically treated yeast on egg production rate, egg quality, organ weight, bone ash, and plasma metabolites in laying hens. The results showed that the addition of enzymatically treated yeast reduced egg production rate quadratically, while increasing egg weight and shell quality. It also improved protein and calcium metabolism, but had no significant effects on feed intake and other parameters.

Growth performance, organ weight, and plasma metabolites in broiler chickens fed corn-soybean meal diet containing berry pomaces and fed without or with multienzymes supplement

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of feeding low-bush wild blueberry (LBP) and organic American cranberry (CRP) pomaces without or with multien-zyme supplement (ENZ) on growth performance, organ weight, and plasma metabolites in broiler chickens. The results showed that ENZ had no significant effects on overall growth performance and organ weights, but it had the potential to modulate the metabolism of pomace-fed broilers. LBP increased body weight during the starter phase, while CRP increased body weight during the grower phase.

Research Note: Impact of Eimeria on apparent retention of components and metabolizable energy in broiler chickens fed single or mixture of feed ingredients-based diets1

Emily Kim, William Lambert, Elijah G. Kiarie

Summary: The impact of Eimeria on apparent retention (AR) of components and metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (AMEn) in corn, wheat, soybean meal, and pork meal was investigated. The results showed that Eimeria reduced the AR of crude fat (CF) and had a tendency to reduce the AR of dry matter (DM) and AMEn of ingredients. This indicates that Eimeria affects nutrient retention and energy utilization, regardless of diet composition.

Yeast derivatives as a source of bioactive components in animal nutrition: A brief review

Rob Patterson, Anna Rogiewicz, Elijah G. Kiarie, Bogdan A. Slominski

Summary: With a long history of inclusion within livestock feeding programs, yeast and their derivatives have been used as sources of highly digestible protein and have expanded into non-nutritional uses. Greater understanding of the composition and functional components of yeast derivatives has led to new use cases, including improving feed efficiency and supporting intestinal health and immunity.

Determination of standardized ileal digestibility of crude protein and amino acids and digestible indispensable amino acid score of faba beans, lentils, and yellow peas fed to growing pigs

C. L. Cargo-Froom, F. Tansil, D. A. Columbus, C. P. F. Marinangeli, E. G. Kiarie, A. K. Shoveller

Summary: This study aimed to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of protein and amino acids (AA) of three Canadian grown pulses and calculate their digestible indispensable AA score (DIAAS). Eight cannulated growing pigs were fed different steam-pelleted diets and the SID values were used to calculate DIAAS. The results showed no differences in SID of protein and AA among the diets. The limiting indispensable AA for all pulses was tryptophan. These findings provide insights into the protein quality of pulses for both swine and humans.

Comparative efficacy of a novel Bacillus subtilis-based probiotic and pharmacological zinc oxide on growth performance and gut responses in nursery pigs

Sudhanshu Sudan, Lauren Fletcher, Xiaoshu Zhan, Serena Dingle, Rob Patterson, Lee-Anne Huber, Robert Friendship, Elijah G. G. Kiarie, Julang Li

Summary: This study examined the effectiveness of a novel Bacillus subtilis probiotic in improving growth performance and gut responses in nursery pigs compared to zinc oxide (ZnO). The findings showed that the probiotic improved average daily gain, feed conversion ratio, and reduced diarrhea rate, while also influencing the gut mucosal gene expression and fecal microbial populations. This suggests that the probiotic has the potential to replace ZnO as a growth promoter in swine production.

Effects of pretreating wheat middlings and sunflower meal with fiber degrading enzymes on components solubilization and utilization in broiler chickens

Felix M. Njeri, Robert Patterson, Charles K. Gachuiri, Elijah G. Kiarie

Summary: Pretreating fibrous feedstuffs with exogenous enzymes can enhance their utilization in broiler chickens. This study investigated the effects of fiber-degrading enzymes on the solubilization of protein and fiber, as well as the nutrient retention and metabolite concentration in broiler chickens. The results showed that pretreatment with enzymes increased the solubilization of protein and the release of sugars and organic acids. Feeding pretreated feed improved the nutrient and energy utilization of broiler chickens.
